Today I will show you a recipe that I have wanted to do for a while now.

Aren't they cute? I have seen them in Pinterest for some time now but those kind of ice cream cones aren't something that you come across easily here. So when I found them in the supermarket I was ecstatic. At last!

I must say that I have also seen the "Pinterest fails" that this recipe has brought to some bakers as well... I was afraid that this would be my fate too and, as a matter of fact, it was:

Oh, the horror! Normally, when I bake, I use the time when the cupcakes are in the oven to clean up the kitchen but with this recipe, all I could do was pace in front of the oven and hold my breath. Imagine my dismay when I saw that the batter was overflowing!!!

I'm not going to lie, I was pretty devastated. Most of them turned out to be like this:

Ugh.

However, when I tasted one, they were good so I decided to keep going.

And they turned out pretty great after all!
